Hello everyone! I got a question today for you, I got this Core i5-2300 which works perfectly fine so far, 40 minutes in prime95 and 0 problems, someone even been using this PC for 4h to play flash games, I tested Minecraft on it, and was doing stuff on it (mostly watching flash stream on twitch and browsing internet), and so far it works as intended, but I am about to do full stress test for at least couple hours.
But this CPU has one missing chip from bellow, I think it's missing because I looked onto pictures in Google images, I am not sure if this is normal or not (by that I mean if there wasn't suppose to be a chip there). I found a picture on Google that those microchips bellow cpu should look like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img20/9540/rtq7.jpg
The microchip that is missing is in this row: http://imageshack.us/a/img31/1082/x9h0.png
and it is around here somwhere in the center: http://imageshack.us/a/img707/4153/px8e.png
I would like to ask you What does that microchips does (the ones marked where the one is missing, I am asking about that full row), and if something can happen if I'll be using this CPU like that? It appears to be working 100% fine and If it passes my stress tests I will consider it as 100% functional even with broken chip. But I would like to know what this row of chips does and why the one there is missing if this impact something or not etc. My main curious question is, What this row of microchips does and how exactly they are called, then what impact can have that missing one when system is 100% functional and stable etc.
PS: Only this one single microchip is absent.
